Room 9 News~ September 25

Fall
is in the air. We are awaiting the beautiful color changes outside and
experiencing the cooling temperatures, especially at morning recess.
It's time to dig those jackets out and start wearing them to school
again. Students usually shed their jackets later in the day on the
playground, so please make sure their name is on the label so they don't
end up in the lost and found. We are already building quite a
collection of unclaimed jackets in the lost and found. THANK YOU!
Thank you to those who attended our 2nd Grade
Curriculum Night. We had a great turnout! If you were unable to attend, I sent the information
packet home with your child. Please feel free to contact me if you
have any questions about the packet.

HOMEWORK
Last week was our first official week of homework. We had a 92% Home/School
Folder return rate. Almost everyone remembered to bring their folder
back to school every day. Way to go! We had our first Friday Surprise to
celebrate students' homework efforts. Everyone got to participate in
this first Friday Surprise to get an idea of how sweet it is.
If a student uses an Oops! on their reading
log, they will still get to participate in the surprise, as long as they
haven't used all of their Oops! Students may not use an Oops! on
missing math homework.

FIELD TRIP2nd grades will be going to Detering Orchards on October 13, as a culmination of our mini-unit on
apples. Look for information in your child's backpack on Monday,
September 25th. If you signed up to chaperone our field trip, there will
be an additional information page for you to return. Please make sure
you have completed the volunteer form in the office by October 11th. You must complete a new form every year. IMPORTANT DATES
